고체수소저장은 수소 기반 경제 발전과 에너지 저장 기술 혁신의 핵심 주제로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 저장 방식은 압축 및 액화수소 저장 등 기존 방식에 비해 안전성과 저장 및 운용 효율성 측면에서 우수한 특성을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 구조적 설계 요소 별로 나노튜브 표면에서의 고체수소저장 성능을 평가하고자 한다. 본 연구는 나노튜브의 저장 메커니즘을 밝히고자 분자 역학 시뮬레이션(MD)을 도입하여 수행되었다. 본 연구의 시뮬레이션에는 다양한 직경, 다중벽 구조(MWNT), 단일벽 구조(SWNT)의 탄소나노튜브(CNT) 및 붕소-질소 나노튜브(BNNT)가 도입되어 진행되었다. 방사형 밀도 함수(RDF)를 통해 다양한 조건에서 수소의 저장 및 효과적인 방출을 분석한 결과, 반경 감소와 이중벽 구조가 고체 수소 저장을 높이는 데 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 붕소-질소 나노튜브의 수소 저장 용량은 탄소 나노튜브에 비해 낮게 측정되었지만, 유효 수소 저장 측면에서는 탄소 나노튜브를 훨씬 능가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Carbon nanotube (CNT)/$Mg_2Ni$ composites were synthesized to enhance the hydrogen storage properties. The emphasis was made on the effect of different shortening methods of CNTs on the open-tip structure and the resulting properties. The use of open CNTs as a starting material resulted in an enhanced hydrogen properties of CNT/$Mg_2Ni$ composites. Among the employed methods for the shortening of CNTs, wet milling using ethanol was the most efficient, while ultrasonic acid treatment or thermal decomposition resulted in a less hydrogen storage capacity.

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes(CNTs) have been grown on Ni-coated TiN/Si substrate by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition using $H_2/CH_4$ mixture gas. We have investigated the Effect of process parameters on the growth of CNT. During the growth, microwave power, pressure, and growth temperature were varied from 300 W to 700 W, 10 Torr to 30 Torr, and 300 $^{\circ}C$ to 700 $^{\circ}C$. respectively. Then we controlled the size of CNTs. The structure of CNT was sensitively dependent on the process parameters.

We report the field emission characteristics of transparent single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) film printed using an inkjet. Pure SWNTs dispersed in dimethylformamide were printed in a transparent layer on indium-tin oxide-coated glass and annealed at $350^{\circ}C$. After taping treatment, SWNTs were oriented vertically on the substrate. The front and the back of the fabricated device produced simultaneous emissions of identical quality. In addition, inkjet printing directly achieved a patterned emission, without a secondary pattern process. This method allows simple fabrication using only SWNTs, without the use of other additives.

Under nanosecond-pulsed laser irradiation, light-absorbing thin films have been used for photoacoustic transmitters for ultrasound generation. Especially, nanostructured absorbers are attractive due to high optical absorption and efficient thermoacoustic energy conversion: for example, 2-dimensional (2-D) gold nanostructure array, synthetic gold nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and reduced graphene oxides. Among them, CNT has been used to fabricate a composite film with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) that exhibits excellent photoacoustic conversion performance for high-frequency, high-amplitude ultrasound generation. Previously, CNT-PDMS nanocomposite films were made by using a high-temperature chemical vapor deposition (HTCVD) process for CNT growth. However, this approach is not suitable to fabricate large-area CNT films (>several cm2). This is because a chamber dimension of HTCVD is limited and also the process often causes nonuniform CNT growth when the film area increases. As an alternative approach, a solution-based process can be used to overcome these issues. We develop PDMS composite transmitters, based on the solution process, using several nanostructured light-absorbers such as CNTs, nanoink powders, and imprinted regular arrays of gold nanostructure. We compare fabrication processes of each composite transmitters and photoacoustic output performance.

Vibration analysis of embedded functionally graded (FG)-carbon nanotubes (CNT)-reinforced piezoelectric cylindrical shell subjected to uniform and non-uniform temperature distributions are presented. The structure is subjected to an applied voltage in thickness direction which operates in control of vibration behavior of system. The CNT reinforcement is either uniformly distributed or functionally graded (FG) along the thickness direction indicated with FGV, FGO and FGX. Effective properties of nano-composite structure are estimated through Mixture low. The surrounding elastic foundation is simulated with spring and shear constants. The material properties of shell and elastic medium constants are assumed temperature-dependent. The motion equations are derived using Hamilton's principle applying first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Based on differential cubature (DC) method, the frequency of nano-composite structure is obtained for different boundary conditions. A detailed parametric study is conducted to elucidate the influences of external applied voltage, elastic medium type, temperature distribution type, boundary conditions, volume percent and distribution type of CNT are shown on the frequency of system. In addition, the mode shapes of shell for the first and second modes are presented for different boundary conditions. Numerical results indicate that applying negative voltage yields to higher frequency. In addition, FGX distribution of CNT is better than other considered cases.

탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotubes; CNTs)는 우수한 물성으로 인하여 전자소자, 에너지 저장매체, 투명전도막, 복합재료 등 매우 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능할 것으로 예측되고 있으며, 더욱이 이러한 특성은 구조변형, 화학적 도핑뿐만 아니라 표면처리를 통해서 제어가 가능하다고 알려져 있다. 이를 위해 기존에는 열처리를 통하여 CNTs를 표면처리한 결과들이 보고되었으나, 고온에서 장시간의 공정이 요구되는 열처리 공정의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 플라즈마 처리를 통해 상온에서 단시간의 공정으로 CNTs를 표면처리하는 방법이 제시되었다. 특히 최근에는, 향후 산업적 응용을 목적으로 종래의 진공 환경에서 벗어나 대기압 연속공정 개발을 위한 대기압 플라즈마 기반의 표면처리 공정에 대하여 관심이 집중되고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 대기압에서 플라즈마를 안정적으로 방전 및 유지 할 수 있는 플라즈마 토치 시스템을 구축하였고, 이를 이용하여 수직배향 CNTs를 표면 처리함으로써 그 영향을 살펴보았다. CNTs는 $SiO_2$ 웨이퍼 위에 증착한 철 촉매를 이용하여 $750^{\circ}C$에서 수직배향 합성하였으며, 원료가스로는 아세틸렌을 사용하였다. 대기압 플라즈마 장치의 경우 고전압 교류 전원장치를 이용하여 토치타입으로 제작하였다. 플라즈마는 아르곤과 질소가스를 시용하여 방전하고, 기판과의 거리 및 처리시간을 변수로 CNTs를 표면처리하였다. 플라즈마 처리 전후 접촉각 측정을 통하여 소수성이었던 CNTs 표면이 친수성으로 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 Raman 분석을 통하여 대기압 플라즈마의 처리조건에 따른 CNTs 의 구조적 결함 발생 정도를 정량화 시킬 수 있었다. 이를 통하여 대기압 플라즈마를 이용할 경우, CNTs의 구조적 손상을 최소화 하면서 효율적으로 표면특성을 변화시킬 수 있는 처리조건을 도출하였다.

Nanosized Pt, Pt-Ru and Pt-$CeO_2$ electrocatalysts supported on acid-treated carbon nanotube (CNT) were synthesized by microwave-assisted heating of polyol process using $H_2Cl_6Pt{\cdot}6H_2O$, $RuCl_3$, $CeCl_3$ precursors, respectively, and were characterized by XRD and TEM. And then the electrochemical activity of methanol oxidation for catalyst/CNT nanocomposite electrodes was investigated. The microwave assisted polyol process produced the nano-sized crystalline catalysts particles on CNT. The size of Pt supported on CNT was 7~12 nm but it decreased to 3~5 nm in which 10wt% sodium acetate was added as a stabilizer during the polyol process. This fine Pt catalyst particles resulted in a higher current density for Pt/CNT electrode. It was also found that 10 nm size of PtRu alloys were formed by polyol process and the onset potential decreased with Ru addition. Cyclic voltammetry analysis revealed that the $Pt_{75}Ru_{25}/CNT$ electrode had the highest electrochemical activity owing to a higher ratio of the forward to reverse anodic peak current. And the chronoamperemetry test showed that $Pt_{75}Ru_{25}$ catalyst had a good catalyst stability. The activity of Pt was also found to be improved with the addition of $CeO_2$.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on catalyst dots by thermal chemical vapor deposition were vertically aligned with a high population density. Such densely populated CNTs showed poor field emission characteristics due to the electrical screening effect. We reduced the number density of CNTs using an adhesive tape treatment. For dotpatterned CNTs, the tape treatment decreased the CNT density by three orders of magnitude, drastically improved the turn-on electric field from 4.8 to $1.8V/{\mu}m$, and changed the emission image from spotty to uniform luminescence. We also report long-term emission stability of dot-patterned CNTs by measuring the emission currents with time at different duty ratios.
